Alan Parsons, born on December 20, 1949 in London, England, is a renowned recording engineer and musician. In his early career, he worked at the EMI tape duplication facility where he had access to iconic albums like The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." This experience fueled his passion for becoming a recording engineer.

Parsons went on to work with legendary artists such as The Beatles, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison after their split. He also collaborated with notable acts like The Hollies and Cockney Rebel. However, his most significant achievement was his engineering work on Pink Floyd's groundbreaking album "Dark Side Of The Moon," which earned him a Grammy nomination.

In addition to his engineering prowess, Parsons co-founded The Alan Parsons Project (APP) with songwriter Eric Woolfson. Together they created conceptual albums inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Isaac Asimov. Throughout the years, Parsons expanded his repertoire with theatre shows and touring live acts.

A vinyl only record label that releases high quality 180g LP and 7" vinyl pressings of titles licensed from a wide range of record companies and artists who control their own repertoire.
